Oh, that stinks, Paula! It's the worst when your little ones can't sleep b/c of other peoples' rude behavior.
Do you have a pic of the bag you're referring to?

purexelegance · Jul 4th, 2009, 04:16 PM

So I thought I was getting a great deal on a Chloe bag. But I discovered that it's probably fake. Am I supposed to just leave it alone? Or do I need to file something? (I haven't paid yet)

pursemonkey · Jul 4th, 2009, 04:16 PM

Wow! I just realized that I scored FOUR MJ collection bags the other day for a TOTAL of just over $700 (before shipping)!!

I would definitely report it to ebay, not that they'll probably do anything...that stinks, hon

hmmm, I guess the groovee satchel

searching the forum now

I need an expert opinion - if I already have a purple Spring Street do I REALLY need a purple Blake? Even if the price is retardedly phenomenal?

And yes, I made up a work.

rachieface · Jul 4th, 2009, 05:28 PM

Oh oh AND I have an electric violet Hillier.

Dawn · Jul 4th, 2009, 05:42 PM

hi rachie!
i definitely gravitate to particular colors (wine/eggplant/maroon) so i understand your love of purple shades

if you love the spring street and love it in purple, go for it.
i know that many like to diversify the colors in their collections, but i found that it didn't work for me.

Dawn · Jul 4th, 2009, 05:43 PM

i put my sunscreen on too late at the pool.
I am a lobster. A LOBSTER!
after a whole day at the beach (yesterday) with spf 15 and NO burn at all and barely any color, i thought "hey, half an hour or so at the pool will be okay without sunblock". WRONG.
pain pain pain.
never again!!!!!!

rachieface · Jul 4th, 2009, 05:43 PM

Ugh Dawn I wanted you to tell me no.

I do have a diversified color collection actually. I don't really double up on colors but I do find I gravitate towards the blue/purple colors. Oy! Don't let me do it!

ETA: You are going to be a 'hurting, girl. Put on some aloe!

Dawn · Jul 4th, 2009, 05:45 PM

if the price is that good rachie....

i can't tell you no.
you know, in the spirit of patriotism and all that. i would not be a good american if i did not tell you to buy that bag!!
(haha)

pursemonkey · Jul 4th, 2009, 05:57 PM

Rachel, how often does something retardedly phenomenal come along?!

I gravitate towards brown, green and blue bags - same thing with clothes. We all have colors we're drawn to again and again, and the Blake, Spring Street and Hillier are all sooo different from one another!

Ouch, Dawn! Darn that sun!!

gypsybiker59 · Jul 4th, 2009, 06:22 PM

Dawn, I know this might sound gross, but break out the cider vinegar and douse yourself with it... it takes the fire right out of the sunburn. I can't tell you how many wicked bad sunburns I gave myself over the years, my poor abused Mac NW15 pale Irish skin lol. One time, my back was covered with blisters. (try putting bra straps over blisters)

thithi · Jul 4th, 2009, 06:22 PM

purple blake sounds devine!! if the price is good, don't pass it up! more than one purple bag is totally acceptable in my book.

sorry about the sunburn dawn! maybe some aloe will help with that?

pursemonkey · Jul 4th, 2009, 06:49 PM

I've heard cider vinegar works wonders - I also highly recommend the after-sun care stuff from Burt's Bees. Cools it right down and takes away the red.

I'm making a balsamic-red wine reduction with shallots, garlic and mushrooms while DH is grilling filet mignon

Sooo hungry!!
